Allen West: “Not a chance” I will apologize to Debbie Wasserman Schultz

posted at 6:00 pm on July 21, 2011 by Tina Korbe

I’m beginning to think commenter Terrie, who yesterday said Allen West is the new Chuck Norris, might be onto something.

“No. 1, I have to protect my personal honor, as well as the honor of this nation,” West said today on Fox News. “It comes to a point when I have to stand and I have to defend myself and I can be very direct in my language, but so be it. The folks back in our districts know about these attacks, they know about this history, and enough is enough. … I stand by what I said. She was the one who released it out to the media. I had no intention of that happening.”

Why should he apologize? She’s a disgusting person. She lies about Republicans wants to kill seniors. Says nothing but talking points in every interview she does. And she makes incendiary claims like the GOP wants to return the nation to the era of Jim Crow(because of voter ID laws!) and that they’re anti-women. Frankly she deserves worse commentary than what Col. West said.

This phony outrage seems mighty convenient. How many times have we had to listen to insults and smears jobs from the likes of Alan Grayson, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, John Murtha, Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, Pete Stark and rest of that most disgraceful group I have ever seen. DWS included.
All of it said right on the floor of The House.

How many of those who now vilify West for directly and vigorously responding to falsehoods and smears made behind his back have themselves said worse about Sarah Palin for no reason other than class prejudice and political disagreement?

Did Debbie apologize for her lies to the American people? No! Did Debbie apologize for voting for Obama care, thus helping to run up huge debts and deficits, and expecting us to pay for them? No! Did she apologize to Rep. West, for her comments on the floor, behind his back? No! Did she apologize to Rep. West for sending protestors to his district, and his offices? No!

Well then….when she apologizes, maybe she’ll get one. Start acting opposite of what Allen West said, and maybe you’ll have earned an apology.

Lawdawg86: Not that I disagree with his assessment, but what is the point of all this exactly? What does West or the GOP gain from this fight???

I can buy into what you say Lawdawg86 to some extent. When however is enough, enough. When someone like the vile Ms. Schultz trots out her lying mantra every time she opens her vile mouth, accusing Republicans of trying to hurt seniors, children, and any other disadvantaged person in order to gain political points, there eventually comes a time when someone must call her on it and describe what she is doing in stark clear language. She deserves every syllable Mr. West sent in her direction. It’s time for more folks on the right to speak out about the leftist liars when they step over the line.

He still got troll baited by a woman, and took the bait rigorously. He’ll be made to answer for his language (which amounts to a huge escalation from Debbie’s initial language), and his thin skin for the rest of his career.

This is the usual demorat game. They come out and insult someone and then expect the usual limp retort of “Oh well you know, we have a difference of opinion and I’m sure Ms. Schultz didn’t mean it. We’re old friends after all, we even exchange birthday cards.”

Note that these little chicken shits—Weiner,Shultz,Pelosi,etc. always come from safe dem districts where they can say the most outrageous and offensive statements and get away w/it. On our side we seem to often have to be way too careful since the seats are in swing districts. Even in republican strongholds it seems our reps don’t want to come out swinging. I firmly believe the country is sinking.

Indeed. This is what is needed to run against the Cars for Clunkers Pimp and Sugah Daddy, with no apologies, no excuses. Attack them, often, with right back in their faces. Also, if the media help the left, go after the private lives of the media primadonnas. See how many literally flunked highschool and etc. Why should they be exempt. Do yer work and destroy them.

It’s fun to watch the media self-destroy from what they eat, what they dwell in.

She looks like she hasn’t ever been introduced to a comb. Her mom should have washed out her mouth with a bar of soap a couple of times too. She’s got absolutely no shame or sense of propriety. She’s low rent. And apparently willing to do anything to get folks to donate to her campaign, because that’s what she used his email for – to raise campaign donations.

No doubt she deserves it. But so do a lot of folks in Congress, I just don’t see how it helps West to call her “vile” and “not a Lady” when he hails from a swing district. I want the guy to get re-elected (and run for national office in the future); but in 2012 he won’t be running against DWS, he’ll probably be running against some blank-slate state Democrat who will happily put that in an ad to show voters that during the debt ceiling debate West was “more interested in feuding with other members of Congress than fixing the big issues facing the nation.”

Then again, I want him to get re-elected because he speaks his mind, which is what he was doing here.

The way that Hillary has totally let her appearance go to hell over the last year is the clearest indication that she will not challenge little Bammie in the democratic primary, and that means she will not run for office ever again.

Not that I disagree with his assessment, but what is the point of all this exactly? What does West or the GOP gain from this fight???

Excuuuse me? How much crap Conservatives have to take from beeyotches like THAT one? How many insults, lies and complaints for no reason whatsoever justify that this honorable gentleman and his lovely family must go through?

Social Security numbers? Out there? Isn’t that a Federal crime? Nooo, not for the Dumbocrats. I saw that live and I was appalled. First he is a freshman, so “he’s not a big deal”; then he speaks up and oh snap, “he doesn’t exist”. Come classless Miss Frizzy who shan’t even be worthy of a TMZ headline and as a coward talks nationwide behind his back and publishes his email? “National scandal out of incredible proportions from the part of Allen West!!!”

This is the type of stuff that throws out the window the “civility” lie. Sorry but sheeple no more.

She said “cracked”? Interesting term to use when talking about a veteran. The left loved that term when it came to Vietnam vets, looks like they’re at it again.

I expect that of McCain, not West. Well, he cracks often (sarc tag it if you don’t buy my argument).

As he noted SHE MADE the email public and she went public with her rant that invited the email. He tried to keep it on the down low.

DWS wanted to wash her dirty laundry outside the house to play the victim card (read: take my case to the American people) and it backfired.

I can only hope that this email straightened her up, sat her down, shut her up and allow their FL constituents voice out their opinions.

To the rest of the country, this is to me the warning shot that should be heard throughout the country: Do NOT double-cross a Conservative!

Evidently you do disagree. The point is self-evident. West gains to be able to say Enough is Enough. He didn’t say these things behind her back, nor on the House Floor as she did. The GOP gains shame, for not defending West at the time this happened on the House floor or afterwards.

I’ve seen posters banned from websites for a lot less than this woman has done. I haven’t heard anything from the House tho.

The way that Hillary has totally let her appearance go to hell over the last year is the clearest indication that she will not challenge little Bammie in the democratic primary, and that means she will not run for office ever again.

If Obama loses in 2012, I would not be surprised in the slightest to see her run in 2016. Look how thin the Democratic bench is for 2016. Mark Warner can’t win the Democratic base. Jerry Brown has been down that road too many times. Deval Patrick can’t even win MA without a third-party candidate. Cuomo or O’Malley could contend, but there will be a desire on the Dem side to have a serious non-white-male candidate. Not to mention that while Cuomo has won over social Dems, he’s alienated the economic progressives. O’Malley has done the opposite. Democrats will be waiting for super(wo)man in 2016 just like we are now. There will be room for Hillary in the Dem primary if she feels like it.

1.) Highlighted DWS’ over-the-top partisanship and evident non-seriousness during a time of national crisis; and/or
2.) Used less incendiary words in response and dropped the reference to not being a lady altogether; and/or
3.) Just let it slide and stay focused on the big issues.

Same goes for the people critizing Hillary’s appearance. Do you do the same for men?

Yes. Go see comments on Santorum’s god awful outfit from last night’s QotD.

As nothing is off the table in impertinence from the left, fight, fight, fight, better than they do, on all topics. Otherwise they will engulf you. This is a pivotal time. The land has until 2012 Nov. After that it is really the rejuvenation, or the end. With her, if it is the end, goes the world, the abyss direction.

Niceties are nice, but that time is long over. The left have picked the fighting style. Fight or perish.

Comments like that are just as bad as the ones from the misogynists on the left.

She did ask for it. Hell, she begged for it. It’s OK for that slimy libtard to wallow in the mud and fling poo in the most pathetic manner and we’re not allowed to vent a little at the loathsome creature? I think I will, when I want and how I want. Good for you, 7%!
